State Police: Trooper Shot Dead Outside Barracks

Two troopers were ambushed outside a state police barracks in northeastern Pennsylvania during a late-night shift change, leaving one dead and another injured, and authorities were searching Saturday for the suspect or suspects, state police said. One trooper was leaving the barracks in Pike County's Blooming Grove and another was arrived when shots were fired just before 11 p.m. Friday. Law enforcement officials from across the region, including New York and New Jersey, descended on northeastern Pennsylvania to help with the search.
